Unique gel technology
ATLAS GEOFLEX EXPRESS contains the unique siliceous gel technology. The siliceous gel offers exceptional ability of water retention which ensures full cement hydration, regardless the cladding type in use.
Advantages
- Wide range of adhesive thickness (2-15 mm)
- for small, medium and large sized tiles (≤ 0.25 m²) and greater edge length ≤ 100 cm
- No cladding slip – enables installation of the cladding from top to bottom with no need of support at the fixing stage
- No shrinkage of the adhesive underneath the tile
- Resistant to changing atmospheric conditions.
